19: First Third Status Check

19: First Third Status Check

At this point you are now roughly one-third of the way through the game and there are some minimum accomplishments that you should have achieved. Not having achieved these could be a problem later on in the game, which is why we pause for this Status Check. There will be two more of these checks as you progress in the game, one at the 2/3 Point of play, and one at the end of the game.

This is pretty simple – all you need to do is check to be sure that you have obtained the following in your game regardless of which starter you chose. The basic items include Pokemon and Items, so just follow along below, and check off the items listed. If ANY are missing, you will want to backtrack and obtain them BEFORE you proceed from here, because it will be more inconvenient to do this after this point in the game.

You should have seen 50 Pokemon, and Own 35, and possess three Gym Badges – the Trio Badge, the Basic Badge, and the Insect Badge..

– Pokemon --

At this point in the game you should have the following Dex Entries in your Pokedex, and you should OWN the following Pokemon in your collection. Note that in the case of evolved Pokemon, you do not have to have all of the types from that evolutionary set in your box, just the highest one – and besides there really is not going to be room to have one of each Pokemon in your collection anyway once you start moving Pokemon from the previous generations into the game later.

If you plan on breeding Pokemon stick with the standard two Pokemon per evolutionary line (a male and female) as appropriate. In the listing below there is no distinction between a Pokemon from an evolutionary line that you should have owned at one point or now, so for instance your Tepig may now have evolved into a Pignite, so you no longer own a Tepig, but it will still be listed as Owned in the list so that you know you are supposed to have the full dex entry rather than a partial entry for a Pokemon that you never owned.

Sample listing and key:

#001 – D – Snivy << This shows that Snivy should be a Dex Entry ONLY and not Owned.#004 – O – Tepig << This shows that Tepig should be Owned and not just a Dex Entry.

Pokemon marked with an X indicate that the entry is subject to the choice you made either with the Starter Pokemon or with Gift Pokemon, meaning that it will vary depending on what you took and is thus a special case.

With respect to the Items and kit you should have the following but you may have more or additional items that are not action-dependent like potions/balls etc. We only list the items you should have acquired through play.
